What's up, everybody? Welcome in to Rahimi Harris and Grody on 104.3 The Score. Hope you are doing well on a Wednesday. We're open 312-644-6767 along with Marshall Harris. I am Mark Grody. We have so much goodness on this show today. We're going to be talking Cubs in about 20 minutes or so. We got White Sox talk because it's worthy. It's still worthy, Marshall. They hot. They hot.
They hot. They got that power going.
We'll get on them White Sox at about 1045 today. We've got Mike Florio on the show talking NFL, and he wrote a hot piece yesterday in regards to Diana Rossini and what Mike Vrabel said or didn't say yesterday, so we'll pick Florio's brain about that. We've got, would this be the third edition of 2026 of Who's Your Guy? You and Layla did Who's Your Guy yesterday. Yes, yes? Yes.
It would be edition number three. Yeah. Three out of four. A four-part series that concludes tomorrow.
I've been practicing, man. I want this to be good today.
You have been practicing. I'm very proud of the cuts that you were taking in the cage earlier this morning.
I was, man. I realized I needed to take a few rips, man. Yes, yes, so we will do this. So be thinking about that. Who's your guy? Who is somebody that is a potential draft pick that you've been wondering about? And we will tell you all about that man at 312-644-6767. That'll come up in just a little bit. We've got full Bears hour with Herb Howard at 1 o'clock. I do believe the man will be in the studio. You doing all right over there, Mars Hall? You feeling good, man?
I feel like I'm about to be a major pain in your way. Really? Yeah, that's what we do, right?
Oh, yeah, okay. I thought that specifically with what I was about to talk about. Oh, no, I think I... Just generally speaking? Yeah. Before the show is over? Before we walk out of here at the transition? Have you worked with me before? Oh, no, I fully... I think it already started backstage. I think there was a little bit of poking during transition, even, because... I'm not one to poke or prod.
I want everybody to get along.
No, I said I was poking or prodding.
Oh, that sounds more accurate.
I was bringing up your white. I don't even know if you wanted me to bring that up during transition, but I feel like you're about to, if this white socks and this keeps up, you're about to take those socks to a different level.
Everybody just needs to stay up a little later and pay attention tonight.
That's all I'm saying. Okay, fair enough. Fair enough. We'll leave it at that. However, since the draft is tomorrow, I do want to start with Bears. And I listened to Jeff King yesterday, the Bears assistant GM, who got his first crack at the mic. He was fine. He was good at what all GMs are good at during draft season. And that's saying absolutely nothing of true substance. You could take things away from what he said. We could all pick it apart. And we are analyzing hard for information from Jeff King. But one of the things... There was a few, maybe literally three things that stood out to me of any interest from Jeff King yesterday. But one of those things was that he said, and this is probably what other GMs are going to say, but it still struck me, and that is that what they want to accomplish in the draft is
is to get competition at positions, then to have to make hard decisions once the real stuff starts, which is true for any team. And then I thought to myself, I'm going to go through all the positions and try to figure out where there is actual, real, legitimate competition. not messing around, not just saying there's going to be competition because we know there's no competition at quarterback. There's no competition at right tackle. There's no competition at left or right guard. So we understand that there are many places where there aren't actually competition. The first position that I did, and I didn't necessarily do it in any order, I just decided to start with cornerback. Okay, where is the competition needed at cornerback?
And then as I went through this, I realize, and I will state my case here in a second, Marshall, the Bears probably could or should draft a cornerback at number 25 or at the very least with one of their second round picks.
